It's worth checking out Bike Snob's review of the Empire City version of this. Quite funny!

My Redline 9.2.5 was a bit less and came with rack mounts...

JPT - This is not a bike for bike snobs. It was a stupid move for them to send him one.
Any publicity is good publicity. I wouldn't even know about the bike if it weren't for the Bikesnob. Now people can buy it ironically.
Bike Snob reviews a different bike. CHeck and you will see.
If you think this is a different bike than the one his Snobiliciousness reviewed, than perhaps the street cred of a theme Scattante is for you!
Choose carefully, your personal brand depends on it; and without a prepackaged personal brand to show you belong to the tribe you are nothing.
